Hi Helen and Sukaina, I'm a PhD candidate in Communication and Information Sciences at University of Hawaii. If you're familiar with programming, you can use a python script to scrape facebook data. If not, I would use the social plugin available for the NodeXL template.

Dear all,
I have the similar question. I am also looking for tools or software programs which can collect, download, and analyse Facebook data. I don't need the tools which support Arabic language specifically. Look forward to your suggestions. Thank you so much.
Best, Helen

Hi all, I am novice researcher in my first Ph.D year at the Uni of Sheffield, UK. I am doing interdisciplinary research. It is about the influence of social media on shaping Libyans' attitude towards 17 February revolution and beyond. I will look at how social media has influenced people's views and beliefs and how has social media been used to distribute information. My main methodology is qualitative. However, I may use mixed methods later as the research progress. My data collection methods would be via interviews and analsying social media. However, as I am new in this field of analysing social media, I am wondering if someone can suggest me some tools or software programs to be used in collecting, downloading and analysing Facebook data. Moreover, I need these tools that support Arabic language as the most posts would be in Arabic. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks
